“Russians have brought in 500,000+ of their own to populate Crimea”

Russia has allegedly “brought 250,000 people from the Donbass to the Crimea, and about 300,000 from mainland Russia.” This was stated in an interview by the Representative of Crimean Tatar Affairs, Mustafa Dzhemilev, as selected by the President of Ukraine.

For example, they brought 250,000 people from Donetsk and Lugansk regions, many of them – bandits who participated in lawlessness, and at least 250,000 or even 300 – 400,000, according to various estimates, residents of the Russian Federation. – Dzhemilev said, believing they intend “to displace pro-Ukrainian and indigenous people.”

In addition, he stated that “such a policy directly contradicts the requirements of the Geneva Convention and is among war crimes.”

“Everything is very secret, just how many new people have been brought to the Crimea, how many are within government structures. Where is the data, there is practically no Crimean Tatar in there. Everything is very secret.”
